In line with the State Government’s free kinder initiative, Glen Education has limited vacancies remaining across a small number of services in 2024. All children in Victoria who are three and four years old can access up to 15 hours of free kindergarten, regardless of visa status or income. At Glen Education, we are providing the full 15 hours of free kinder to both age groups.
Due to strong demand, and to ensure that all families can access 15 hours of free kindergarten – regardless of whether they are three or four years of age, we have extended our program offering to include a Saturday at services where demand is particularly high.
Two-day, funded kindergarten sessions that incorporate a Saturday will operate at the following kindergartens: Glen Bentleigh, Glen Bentleigh East, Glen Carnegie, and Glen Centre Road kindergartens in 2024. These high-quality programs will operate on either a Thursday/Saturday or Friday/Saturday.
